Tell me how you got that 10mb internet connection. You got a fistfull of t3 lines running in? Is this satellite? You may have posted that info before, but I don't recall, sorry. The crux of the question is does your internet connection sit on its own IP address or does it connect through a card in a PC which has a separate network card connecting to your local lan. If the former, you need the switching hub or all 10 mb. If the latter, you can go all 100mb on the local lan. You will have to access the internet via the pc it's connected to, which is why you need some sort of IP routing or gateway capability on that PC. 100 mb will help you only marginally for internet access from PCs not directly connected to the internet, but helps a lot for disk access.
